Le Havre - Panoramic View from Ruby Princess

The Gateway to Paris. Entre ver algo novo ou voltar a Paris, é sempre um grande dilema. Desta vez arriscamos e esquecemos Paris. Le Havre foi mais a "gateway" para Honfleur. E valeu a pena! Aqui ficam algumas imagens de Le Havre visto desde o Ruby Princess Le Havre by princess.com:Perhaps no other place in France holds more associations for English-speaking visitors than Normandy. The historic Allied landings on D-Day - 6 June, 1944 - live on in the memories of British and Americans alike. Nor has Le Havre forgotten the dark days of the war. The port was nearly completely destroyed during the Normandy campaign. Today, Le Havre is France's second largest port and the gateway to Paris, "City of Light," the Norman countryside, and the historic landing beaches.Travelers usually head for the historic landing sites or to Paris. Yet Le Havre was designated a World Heritage Site in 2005. The Musee des Beaux Arts Andre Malraux boasts one of the finest collections of Impressionist painting in the world.
